Several OF the leading employees have rented
houses here. Proposals to establish another shin
yard, silk factory and other enterprises are men

people here, and his personal kindness OF char
acter has endeared him to the community 1t is
hoped that means will be found to retain him in
Alexandria. DR.. d. will, it is understood, travel
as an evangelist. His success in several missions
OF this kind in Virginia has been remarkable He

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
In your last nights issue and also in Mondays
issue there appear what are intended to be pro-
tests against the management of the washington
base ball nine or 'The Nationals" but which only
amount to ''kicks" of those who, by their very
utterances show their lack OF appreciation of good
ball playing and the difficulties to be surmOunted
by those who attempt to furnish this city with
who do not give the amount of financial support
by their patronage OF the game that would be
necessary TO give weight or credence to their re-
marks.
Base ball patrons in other cities make no protest
against oO-cent tariff, and consequently other
not dependent upon the generosity Of the league
for their playing strength. AS matter of choice
the best Judges OF game prefer the side seats to
being cOoped up in the lower section of the grand
stand, where observation Is badly INSTRUCTED by q
screen OF wire netting, and when your CORE
spOndent uses as his argument that the side seats
are occupied solely by gamblers, be kind enough
TO allow the subscriber to state that he sat through
forty-three games on the side seats last year. and
not only never made a bet there, but never heard
one made during the progress OF game.
Mr.. Editor, am in no way connected with this
management, nor am acquainted with any d.
rector or StOckhOlder OF the club, yet am con-
strained when see such blatant attacks on those
who are doing their utmost to promote the inter-
ests OF base ball in this city to say my little word
while not agreeing with them in regard to the ad
visibility OF all their moves, will be a steady
patron OF the game during the coming season and
Will cneerfully pay any reasonable charge that
may oe mace 1or admission, and further that
Will never be guilty OF charging that game be-
cause some errors are made, or because the club I
bet on loses, is not worth more than 15 cents X.

Arrest Of a Fugitive.
CHARGED WITH AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE IN NARY


LAND.
About week ago Deputy Sheriff Hayden, Of
Charles county, Nd, arrived here with warrant
for the arrest OF John, alias William Gordon, a
colored man IS years Of age on the charge OF an
assault with intent to outrage Mrs. Alice Norris at
Rock Point, on the Wicomico river. Gordon was
not then in the city, and the warrant, with a de-
scr1ption OF the man, was left with Lieutenant
Vernon'S Officers. Yesterday Sergeant Falvey and
officer Block, ascertaining that the man was at
river wharf on the schooner Raymond, Fuller
went there and Gordon started to run OF, but was
caught. He was placed in the cells OF the fourth
precinct station and on the arrival OF Mr. Hayden,
who was sent for, was turned over to him. 1t APP
pears that Mrs Norris husband is employed in
oystering and she is often left alone with her In
FAINT, with the exception that Gordon does chores
around the house, and that one day last week he
entered Mrs. Norris bed chamber and assaulted
her, but her screams caused him to deStSt and to
flee from the place. The facts becoming known,
the sheriff and posse secured the woods for him
and learned that he had gone on board OF one OF
the schoonerS In the river. Gordon denies the
charge against him and states that on going to
Mrs. Norris room with coal to put on the fire he
found her lying across the bed and on her child,
and he took hold OF her arm to pull her OF the
baby TO prevent her killing 1t, when she made an
alarm and ne then ran of.
